Rapid Response Mission in Padding

3 July 2017. Padding: Women carry a sack with fishing kits and seeds to be distributed by FAO in Padding, Jonglei, South Sudan.

The distribution is part of a Rapid Response Mission (RRM) that WFP, OXFAM, Save the Children and FAO are conducting to provide food, medicines, seeds and fishing kits to the population.

Fighting between Government and opposition forces last April pushed thousands of civilians to displace to Padding and Lankien, both still under opposition control. The massive displacement, that duplicated the population, brought an outbreak of cholera and a serious need of health assistance, drinking water and food distribution among the population, according to the local leaders.
